Three powerful phrases we need to say more: Sorry, thank you, I love you!

On one of the many bus journeys I’ve had with travel buddies, we happened to discuss the word “sorry”, which always seems to be the hardest word to say. Travel buddy Ah Som quipped: “The closer we are to the person or people, the harder it is for us to say the word ‘sorry’ to them.”

I agree with what he said because this is what I normally experience. Very often, when we are locked in a tussle with our better half over an issue or two, the impasse could have been easily broken just with a softly uttered “sorry”. Unfortunately, this word seems perpetually difficult to be said out loud.
